Dear WEAAD Attendees:
On behalf of the National Adult Protective Services Asso-
ciation, National Center for Victims of Crime and Interna-
tional Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse, wel-
come to the Fourth Global Summit in celebration of the
13th anniversary of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day.
Our deepest gratitude also goes to our esteemed group of
national and international speakers, who are true pio-
neers and champions for elder justice, as well as our
many partner organizations.
This event would not have been possible without the gen-
erous support from our sponsors ― JPMorgan Chase
Foundation, SIFMA, EverSafe, Western Union, and Wells
Fargo Advisors. Thank you to Jay Clayton, Chair of the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and his in-
credible staff for hosting the Global Summit.
FACTS ABOUT ELDER ABUSE
Elder abuse is a rampant, largely
invisible, expensive, and lethal
problem
One in ten older persons is a
victim of elder abuse
Older abuse victims are three
times more likely to die than
non-victimized older persons
Elder abuse costs victims, their
families, financial institutions,
and taxpayers tens of billions of
dollars a year
Older adults and younger adults
with disabilities are the only
victims of crime and abuse
which receive no designated
support for protective and other
victim services from the U.S.
government
“What WEAAD 2018 is: the driving force of a caring culture where we celebrate
and respect older persons and their human rights. There is a need for extraordi-
nary leadership, clarity of vision, and complete commitment in knowing that in a
civil society, each person can and must resolve to do better, be stronger, to
reach further, to find solutions.”
-Dr. Elizabeth Podnieks,
Founder of WEAAD
